NW WA Meet / BS Thread

That's a lot of details. Thank you. I am considering the icon/king/fox route, but I would still have to buy leaf springs an possibly uca's as well. I only spent $600 on my current lift so not to painful. I've only put about 2k miles on it and a friend wants to buy it when I get something new.

 

Thanks for info.

 

When you are about to spend multi thousands of dollars, knowledge is power!

 

Definitely. I have one more big ass payment to make on my truck next month then it's on. I drove a friends truck with Icon stage 5 last month and it was so nice. I like the warranty with the BP's and the customer service of ARB is top notch.

 

I got mine through ToyTec and their customer is also very well

 

Truck window smashed out last night. I'm sure alarm went off and nothing stolen, luckily. Had a box full of recovery gear and tool bag in back seat. Had my concealed carry FN 5.7 in there. Nothing missing. I will get my revenge. Won't leave stuff in there anymore though.

 

That sucks man good thing nothing was taken! Fuckin thieves

 

Decided "why not" and went ahead and tried that trail. Didn't go all the way but went through the creek!

 

Frickin buggers

 

it's just a window replacement now so I'm considering myself lucky. Friggin $900 handgun in the cab... sheeeeeiit! Cop said it's happening all over Issaquah right now. The officer spent most of his time here asking about my truck and hunting lol

 

Do you have a gun safe in the truck?

 

No, definitely could have been more of a loss.

Wish those losers would get jobs and know what it's like to have to work for something.

 

no sir, was just in center console with a spare 30 round mag. I'm feeling so lucky right now...

 

Looks like a wet dogs nose sticking in the camera lens...

 

Speak of regearing I finally have a tank of gas with keeping my foot out of it running these 35's. Looks like this tank is about 15mpg's. Not too bad

 

Ok, just waiting for my bearing and spider assembly to get here, and I'm all set for next Sunday to replace my drivers front bearing, rebuild the CV's and do the ECGS bushing mod! Pass side in a few weeks.

 

C

This week will be my full tank with the new gearing.... curious to see what I get

 

That could be tricky for me too. If I'm not working, wife pretty much expects me to come home, however I can probably squeeze something out. That comes more to telling work I'm not going to do 7x10s that week.

Careful with creeks...crossing one was easy enough for me, but coming back was my first time getting my truck stuck

 

You have engaged my curiousity ...
What is the color coded items in the red molded plastic case?

And are you able to press in bearings into the spindle by hand or 20T press?
This might be a 1st gen vs 2nd gen thing.
1st gen bearing replacement into spindle requires 20T press = P.I.T.A. and spendy...

Or are you replacing a bearing 'tween the CV and front diff?

Aren't you missing jack stands? 32MM or 35MM socket? A BFH? Relative bearing grease? Bucket o' steam? Keys to the sea chest?

I have more questions if you like...

 

huge fan of my TC UCA's. To me, I have put them through different ringers and have been nothing but thrilled with them. They are expensive but you get what you pay for.


Are there any shops around JBLM that can do a rear locker? I am looking at getting 1 and running my ARB compressor to it. If the install is easy, I wouldnt mind doing myself or with someone who has done one before. I havent started doing my homework yet on the install so I'm not sure what all has to be done.
